Ok, so you've got the latest code and firmware (there is only one
version of the 1.20 firmware). And we know it's not the LNA then.
You said the SNR is < 45%, but as far as I can see the SNR function
isn't implemented on the dib7000p or the dib7000m, so it should always
be zero. Are you sure you weren't referring to strength? Also, what
application are you using to watch the stream?
